Abuse Series Memes #1

I have been using @dmania for some time for sharing memes, but the longer I have used it, the less I liked it due to the restrictive format on the dapp itself. It's okay, this just means that I can now post memes the old-fashioned way. I don't think anyone would mind if I started using the #AbuseSeries tag for this purpose.

I don't know what I am aiming for yet. It could be funny. It could be as-a-matter-of-fact, or perhaps even sarcastic. Anyways, the idea is still in experimental stage. I think for now, I will just post the pictures (memes) and tell a little story each week when I find something interesting in the abuse front.

Many users would come into the @steemcleaners' Discord and defend their actions against a @cheetah comment, etc. Many are legitimate as there are multitudes of Steemians using other platforms to complement their experience. Steem Press is a perfect example how authors could appear to be plagiarists, but all they needed to do is to clarify with the community that they are authentic.

Not in this case, though. This Steemian decided that they wanted to share Zen-related material they found online, but refused the idea of declining rewards. Apparently, it's okay in their minds because no rewards were claimed and they had already mentioned that they wouldn't be posting original works from their end. Somehow, this means that the comment is slanderous and libelous.

This certainly doesn't help when certain Witness felt it was appropriate to accuse @steemcleaners, and by extension, the rest of the anti-abuse community, of "systematically downvoting users".

Oh well, maybe what they need is better Steem education, but given how this particular user quickly dismissed responses and left the server, I think getting people to read in the first place would be an achievement in itself. Welcome to the Steem blockchain! Many of us will never read anything here.
